Despite missing the playoffs for the third straight year, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan still enjoys the support of his players.

While Ryan's future with the team boils down to general manager John Idzik's decision, the locker room said he should stay as coach of the Jets.

"I'm 100 percent confident that if the GM and the owner allowed player feedback, then there'd be a lot of guys that would go to bat for him, and speak on his behalf," receiver David Nelson recently told the New York Post.
